Count by 426 (Skip Counting by 426s)

Count by 426

Here we will show you how to count by 426, discuss counting by 426 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 426 matters. To start off, note that Count by 426 means counting in 426s, or count by four hundred twenty-sixes, and it is also called skip counting by 426.

How to count by 426
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 426, we count 426, 852, 1278, 1704, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 426 or skip counting by 426, we start with 426 and then add 426 to get the next number, and then continue adding 426 to the previous number to keep counting by 426, like this:

426
426 + 426 = 852
852 + 426 = 1278
1278 + 426 = 1704
1704 + 426 = 2130
...

You can of course skip count by 426 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 426 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.

Looking at the chart above, you will see that the first column has the first ten numbers you get when you skip count by 426, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 426, and so forth.

Count by 426 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 426s Chart above in 10 rows and 10 columns so you can easily identify patterns.

Skip counting always creates patterns. Figuring out these patterns may help you if want to count by 426, but don't have the Counting by 426s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 426s is that the number increases by 426.

Furthermore, if you look at each row above, each number in the row has the same last digit (ones place). That means that every tenth number has the same last digit.

If you look down the columns, you will see that the last digit (ones place) repeats itself in blocks of 5 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 426 goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 426.

Why Count by 426?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 426 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by four hundred twenty-six, you are also creating a list of multiples of 426 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 426 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 426.

When you skip count by 426, you are also creating a list of numbers that 426 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 426 is the same as making the 426 times table.
